In Fig 5 have illustrated :i slight modification o my device wherein the construetion is substantially the same as that shown in Fig. 1, except that :in additional lug i2 is provided preferably upon the Side Of the porcelain body opposite the lug 19. The Yscrew 16 which is serewedthrongh lue,r 1Q may however be directed normal to the suifzice of the plate 4. A mit? l5*l is preferably provided also in connection with this screw, corresponding to nut l'ahove described.

In this form of device the body l is clamped firmly to the plete 4 by the additional engagement of screw 16 With said plate; but I find in practice that the clamp` ing arrangement shown in Fig. l is usually quite sniieien'e for most purposes.

Having desei'ihed my invention, what I claim, is:
